Space Weather — The Study of Planetary, Solar and Cosmic Weather
 |
| Determining the systemic relationships between the Earth, atmospheres and planets |
The ESSE Space Weather concentration prepares you to join the space industry, which faces a severe workforce shortage in the near term. Positions in government agencies and federal laboratories that deal with space-related disciplines are also open to you.
